    We have something special lined up for all fans of pure, raw & uncompromising Motorsport from an era where the whole Racing world turned their eyes to the US, to see some of the most spectacular racecars ever built competing in the prestigious IMSA GTO Series.


    Preview Video by InsideSimracing:​



    The GTO class showcases some of the loudest, widest and most memorable racing machines on the motorsports scene during the 80's and early 90's.

    [​IMG]

    Brawly boxy Mustangs, Audi Quattro's on steroids and high tech Nissan ZX's all fighting to dominate North American sportscar racing, much like the Group5 monsters did it in Europe and Asia.

    [​IMG]

    Like the Group5 car class, these are brutal vintage cars but what a glorious sight and sound when a full grid of them thunder towards turn 1.

    [​IMG]

    The ever reliable 700bhp Quattro engine with its four wheel drivetrain system was installed in a purpose built space frame chassis. The special 5 cylinder engine sound is pure Audi magic.

    The Nissan 300ZX Z32 sillhouette car competed in the North American IMSA GTO in the late 80s, turning heads and winning races. It has a spaceframe chassis, double wishbone suspension, 700+ bhp, fantastic handling and a stunning wide stance design. What more could you ask for from a legendary racing machine.

    [​IMG]

    Some say the IMSA GTO Mustang is boxy, some find it beautiful in all its angry power. Nobody can argue with its power or its winning ways though. The bodywork is loosely based on the Fox Body Mustang of the era, but beneath the skin sits a tube-frame chassis. The IMSA GTO Mustang is powered by a V8 as might be expected, its american powerplant providing ridiculous amounts of power and a glorious noise.

    Really would like to try them, while with the Quattro I never came along so far (strange handling even if you're used to simracing with 4WD Rally Cars) while in reality the american GTO's got smoked by the Audis that time....:rolleyes:

    Audi Quattro got new physics with last update, did you try it since then.

    Car-wise this is all I cared in this patch :cool: Can't wait to try Mustang. Shame they sound poorly, but it's not Sector3's fault (4-cyllinder engine in Mustang? - how could they do this :mad: Audi sounds nice, tho). Luckily there is Group 5 with upcoming physics update to fill this gap.

    If you own the Audi already my guessing would be 599.
